Camshift

Camshift, which stands for Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift, is an algorithm used in computer vision to track moving objects within video sequences. It works by analyzing the color distribution of the initial object and then continually updating its position and size as the object moves or changes appearance. Think of it as a smart, adaptive spotlight that follows an object by focusing on its color characteristics, making real-time adjustments to stay centered and scaled correctly. This approach allows for effective tracking even when objects change size, move unpredictably, or experience some variation in appearance.
